CNWL and Rethink Mental Illness launch the Milton Keynes Recovery College Community Inclusion Service
The hope is that the Milton Keynes RCCIS will add additional choice and support to the Milton Keynes community. The Milton Keynes RCCIS will be offering a Recovery College which forms part of the hub-and-spoke model of CNWL’s London-based Recovery and Wellbeing College, and Rethink will deliver a progressive, community-integrated mental health service, to help residents and communities build meaningful, independent lives.
Students will be able to attend face-to-face courses Recovery College courses at Queensway Clinic in Bletchley and will continue to be able to utilise and attend courses run virtually or face-to-face at the CNWL RWC.
The Milton Keynes Recovery College Community Inclusion Service will be based in CNWL’s existing Queensway Clinic in Bletchley, which is also the current site of the Milton Keynes Crisis Café, and the Milton Keynes Hub.
